Overview

Exposure to microplastics and Streptococcus iniae raises oxidative stress and apoptosis in Korean rockfish, suggesting enhanced pathogen transport.

Key Points

  • Increased oxidative stress and apoptosis were observed in Korean rockfish following exposure to microplastics and bacteria.
  • Co-exposure to high concentrations of microbeads and bacteria significantly raised the activity of oxidative stress markers and apoptosis levels.
  • Assessment included mRNA expression analysis and activity measurement of various oxidative stress markers in liver tissue.
  • Findings suggest microplastics may facilitate bacterial infection in aquatic environments, emphasizing the environmental impact of pollution.
